RE: Field to small to hold result

I believe %abs() returns a floating point. You might try wrapping it to
cast to int.

Weight = 10 - %int(%abs(lenpk - lenrd)); // or %inth() depending on your
needs

Subject: Field to small to hold result

I have the following procedure:



PMyProc

DMyProc PI 5i 0

D*

D Weight S 5i 0

D lenpk S 5i 0

D lenrd S 5i 0

C*=======

/free

.

Stuff

.

Lenpk = %len(%trim(FieldPK)); // gives 25 in debug : FieldPK is a db
field as is FieldRd

Lenrd = %len(%trim(FieldRD)); // gives 12 in debug

Weight = 10 - %abs(lenpk - lenrd); //Would have thought -3 but ....
crashes

.

More stuff

.

Return weight;

/end-free



Program goes into defib with the above mentioned error at the Weight =
statement



I thought it might be in the %abs(lenpk - lenrd) but I split that off as
a separate calc and it did not complain at it.



Any ideas?
